Adaptation or adaptive value is any genetically controlled structural, physiological, or behavioral characteristic. This helps an organism survive and reproduce under a given set of environmental conditions.
Acquired Trait
An acquired trait is a characteristic that an organism develops in response to its environment or experiences rather than inheriting genetically. For example, a person who learns to play the piano develops musical skills through practice and instruction, which are not passed down to their offspring. Similarly, a gardener who develops a green thumb by cultivating plants over time acquires the skill of gardening, which is not genetically inherited.
It is called the phenotype or phenotypic trait.
Heterozygous
no
Yes, it is possible to undo a genetically modified trait in an organism through genetic engineering techniques like gene editing or selective breeding. By introducing targeted genetic changes or breeding with non-modified individuals, it is possible to reverse or eliminate the modified trait in subsequent generations.
An acquired trait is a characteristic of an organism that developed after the organism began life. For instance, a limp from a broken leg is an acquired trait. In contrast, an innate trait is one that an organism had (or was genetically determined to develop) at the time the organism began life. An example of this would be a cat being born with a tabby-stripe coat pattern.

An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
A trait is a distinguishing quality or characteristic that is passed down genetically, while a characteristic is an observable feature of an organism. For example, eye color is a trait that can be inherited, while having freckles is a characteristic that can vary among individuals.
it is a trait passed down genetically
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous

Genetically modified foods happened because man discovered that a gene could be removed from one species and forced into the cells of another species to bring about a desired trait in the host, or that a gene could be removed from an organism, modified in some way, and inserted back into the same organism. In the most common genetically modified foods today (2015), the desired trait is either resistance to a herbicide or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself, although there are some other, less common traits produced through genetic modification.
